 memories , like the corners of my mind .... Member 49, 2298 posts SQ 200, BP 132.5, DL 220552.5 kgs @ 123kgs UnEq | Well guys my injury will hopefully be soon gone and will be back at 100% soon. One thing i KNOW that will hold me back will be the fact that im not training with powerlifters. This is my cry out for someone to train with for atleast a few sessions so that i can learn a bit more and improve my techniques. I would be very very appreciative of anyone who would offer a few training sessions. | ||

Is there any easier way of contacting you e.g msn or e-mail. I have a dilemma as i was told my oblique would take up to 4 months to heal. Fair enuough i still cant get a good arch on the bench because of it but it only feels a few weeks away from 100%. Could this be down to the fact i have kept up a very high protein + nutrient diet? | ||

Could this be down to the fact i have kept up a very high protein + nutrient diet? nutritious diet helps in recovery, so perhaps. High protein probably not, the amount of protein needed in tissue repair is pretty minimal and easy to obtain. but i would guess the main reason is that the doctors just give their average estimate, and if you are athletic and used to healing from injuries small and big then your body probably recovers faster than the average. but even if it feels 100% doesnt mean that it is back to its old strength! you need to build the strength and flexibility slowly back to its old self. Are you training around the injury at the moment? As in are you doing any training? | ||

E.g. test bodyweight squats, bodyweight deadlifts etc. - just check all the movement is ok. I guess you will want to be doing some very light ab work at firs too - side bends and light crunches perhaps. | ||

memories , like the corners of my mind .... Member 49, 2298 posts SQ 200, BP 132.5, DL 220552.5 kgs @ 123kgs UnEq | Im training about 2-3 times a week atm, im takin advantage of the time off from the heavy weights to do some good long stretch sessions, cardio(which is a killer) and a variety of high rep weights as any sort of strain just pulls to much on my side but it the pain has reduced by about 40% in the past week or so. I'm going to have to make sure i do ease myself back into my training because i know very well i would just jump straight in if the weight felt ok. Im itching to get some decent weights in my hands again. | ||

Teabagger for hire Member 54, 237 posts | You realy need to take time when you are returning from an injury. Work the area but make sure that your intensity levels are low for a period of several months. ALso review the reason for the injury - is there a weakness that need to be addressed by specialist training. One of the most common problems leading to injuries is a failure to work the lower back over a range of motion. Of course you should keep a very straight back when doing DL but if you have not trained over a range then any alteration in form will put the muscles into a position where they are not strong. I think a good exercise for this is reverse hypers, with weight, keeping the hips locked and flexing at the waist. I have a chronic back injury and this exercise reduces the number of flare-ups that I get. | ||
